As Durga is working on the thermal governor patches, I think that one
can handle this, right?

Currently, as I do not want to change the behavior of the current
drivers, ACPI passive cooling, etc, I did not use trend when the
temperature is lower  than the trip point.
But anyway, if really needed, I can generate an incremental patch.
what do you think?
